Abstract

Among all the religions, Islam gives most importance to education. Prophet Muhammad SAW has described the importance of education on several occasions, history is the witness that Islam enlightened the world with knowledge when there was darkness of ignorance. Prophet Muhammad SAW had established an educational friendly environment in Makkah and Madina both on individual and collective basis just after the revelation started. Somewhere it was declared that acquiring knowledge was compulsory upon every Muslim man and woman, elsewhere learned people were mentioned to be superior to the worshippers. On one hand, the importance of education was made public from pulpit of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in Masjid Nabawi, while, on the other side, the importance of the acquisition of knowledge was expounded from the battlefield. In the nutshell, whether it was the pulpit or the market public meetings or private gatherings, education and its importance was inculcated forcefully.
